Damn, sorry. It really sucks not having a 2.1.5 box I can hose over
for testing. That's the exact same patch I applied to 2.2 ages ago. :-(

I don't know, but Bill posted a patch that supposedly fixes the patch.
It's appended below. I'm now updating a test box to 2.1.5 (it's a slow
beast) and will test it out to make sure it works, but so far we've had
2-3 reports of brokeness w/out the patch, and one good report of Bill's
patch fixing the problem.
